Borgholm Energi will take possession of the buildings on October 1, Arla said.


The property comprises the former cheese production area, storage facilities and a combined heat and power plant, which already supplies parts of the town of Borgholm with district heating. A new bio incineration plant is planned for the site.


The storage facilities will be used as a cheese store for cheese from Arla Foods’ dairy in Kalmar for some time to come. The dairy’s production equipment has been sold to a milk producer group in Chile.
